How to use it
- Weigh the silver parts only.
- Choose the fineness from the hallmark (e.g. 925).
- Enter a current price per troy ounce and, if you have one, a buyer offer.
Fine silver (g) = weight in grams × fineness. Value = fine silver ÷ 31.1035 × price per troy ounce.
This is a metal-content estimate, not an appraisal. Buyers pay below melt value to cover refining and margin.
